Veener Schnitz 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I don't think we should be surprised that Yang luckboxed and donked way to the main event championship. Let's all calm down and enjoy the show! Link to post Share on other sites
EddyA 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 He wasn't making fun of you, just pointing out that it was odd. =/I'm not trying to be odd, I'm just trying to be part of the community now. I understand its odd that someone who signed up 2 years ago only has 5 posts, but stuff like that really isn't important, we all start off at 0.Anyways, this is a really strange final table. That showdown with Lee W. and Jerry Yang was awkward. Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings7 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Yang's praying is the most annoying thing I am seeing, Although Khan is coming in a close second. He said in his interview that he is just trying to loosen everyone up, but noone laughs at his antics. Link to post Share on other sites

Ganseynogle 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Does pointing that out serve any purpose? I mean seriously.I shouldn't have to explain myself, but I signed up along time ago, used to follow Daniel's blog before the redesign. Pretty much forgot my screen name. Now I would like to post on the forum. Can we talk about the main event now?sorry just wondering Link to post Share on other sites

If you are talking about Hold em, Hachem has proven to be the better of the two. In other games however, I don't think Hachem is as good as Raymer. Link to post Share on other sites

PillarPAX217 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 It sucks that the final table...well..basically the main event itself has turned into a preflop game now. Nothing post flop. That's how Jerry Yang won. Link to post Share on other sites
chgocubs99 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Maybe I'm just not in a bad mood, but nothing at this table is annoying me that much. The play isn't all THAT horrible, who knows how any of us would play at this table...and even if it is bad, so what? It is what it is, this is broadcast to be a TV show, not a PXF instructional video. Link to post Share on other sites

EddyA 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 It sucks that the final table...well..basically the main event itself has turned into a preflop game now. Nothing post flop. That's how Jerry Yang won.I think Yang came into the final table thinking that the other players were looking to push him around because of his stack and that everytime someone played back at him, they were trying to make a play. His gameplan, based on that line of thinking, was to take the lead when he thought he had it, and hope someone would make a play back at him, which is exactly what Hilm did. After absorbing Hilm's stack, it was Yangs tourney to lose. Link to post Share on other sites
Loismustdie 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 PAUSE:DID I REALLY HEAR HEVAD KHAN SAY THAT YANG WAS THE BEST PLAYER HE'S EVER PLAYED WITH?Someone clarify please. He must have been kidding.I love how Jerry Yang said "thank you" quietly to Khan's statement.Oh, and howabout Yang proclaiming his faith and asking God for help.Like God gives two ****s about the WSOP.Such a joke, but fun to watch and make fun of though, nonetheless.[/quote I don't know. I can see why a person would do that but my favorite was when Watkinsons significant other was doing a dueling prayer type thing with Yang. Yang"God,you know your purpose for me." Lady"God,show him your power,make him a believer." I love God,think he is great,I don't believe he has ever given a crap about how I fared at a poker table. Really,the question is,if Watkinson had won would he have believed? Or would he have used his bean and known it was just statistics and probability? Honestly, though,from what I saw,alot of really scared passive play. Perfect table for a player like Yang to be at. Link to post Share on other sites

He said in his interview that he is just trying to loosen everyone up, but noone laughs at his antics. Actually,the more I see of Khan the more I like him. I like having a noisy guy around,breaks up the monotony. Khan mentioned that people are to uptight,and he was right. Look at our hero Daniel.. I am sure many people get annoyed when he starts singing Eye of the Tiger and shit like that,but it is fun. That's what this game is supposed to be,fun. Dennis Rodman had is place on championship teams as much as John Paxson did. Link to post Share on other sites

DrawingDeadInDM 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Yang is brutal..I mean, just brutal. I really liked watching him get his face caved in on some of those hands.. and though Khan is annoying, that shreik when he wins a hand is horrible. Link to post Share on other sites

whatgreatis 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 And whining about how the blinds get big late in a tournament was old about three years ago.The blind structure seemed to look good to me. The players just choose to do all the betting preflop. And Yang way over values hands, I think the Russian should have laid down AK and waited for Yang to give his chips away in a post flop situation that he can better control. Who really wants to take a huge coin flip with a total post-flop ignoramus? Link to post Share on other sites
